WHY MICHAEL PORTER JR. IS THE LEAGUE’S MOST INSPIRATIONAL INJURY COMEBACK STORY TODAY
Michael Porter Jr. is averaging a career-high 25.8 PPG in Brooklyn. Discover the story behind his revenge win over the Denver Nuggets.
Michael Porter Jr. knows he’s not the only player whose career got tangled up in what-ifs. He’s been in the league seven years now, and after six seasons and a championship ring with Denver, he’s suiting up for the Brooklyn Nets. Sunday night, after dropping 27 points on his old team in a 127-115 win, Porter Jr. took a moment to look back.
“I expected to be the best player in the NBA,” he told reporters. “Injuries had their way with me, but I kept grinding, and I’ve managed to carve out a real spot in this league.”
Honestly, he’s having a monster year. Porter Jr. is averaging a career-high 25.8 points a game for Brooklyn—way up from his 18.2 last season in Denver. That’s not a small jump. And he’s not surprised by any of it. “What I’m doing now isn’t a shock,” he said. “Doing it after everything my body’s been through—that’s what I’m really proud of.”
Let’s rewind a bit. Porter Jr. barely got started in college—just three games at Missouri, then a back injury. Denver still took him 14th overall in the 2018 draft, but he spent his rookie year rehabbing instead of playing. He finally hit the court in October 2019.
Over the next six years, Porter Jr. played more than 300 games for Denver. He became a regular starter after his second season, and he put up solid numbers—about 16 points and 7 boards a night, hitting nearly half his shots and drilling over 40% from deep.
His best season in Denver came in 2020–21: 19 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and he was one of the league’s deadliest three-point shooters at 44.5%. He dropped 20-plus points in 22 games that year.
Then, injuries came back. He played only nine games in 2021–22—another back surgery. But he bounced back in 2022–23, starting every game he played and averaging 17.4 points.
When the Nuggets finally won it all in 2023, Porter Jr. was right there, playing in every playoff game. He averaged 13.4 points and 8.1 rebounds in the postseason, including three double-doubles in the Finals.
Now in Brooklyn, Porter Jr. has become the guy on offence. He’s scoring more than ever, taking more shots, and carrying a bigger load. He’s already got several 30-point games under his belt and sits among the NBA’s top scorers.
The Nets, though, are struggling—11-22, stuck in 13th place in the East. They’re four games behind Atlanta for the last play-in spot, way back from first-place Detroit. Still, beating the Nuggets broke a three-game skid, and for Porter Jr., it had to feel good to shine against his old squad.
KENDRICK BOURNE REVEALS THE STRICT DISCIPLINE THAT SPARKED THE PATRIOTS' TURNAROUND
Kendrick Bourne speaks out! Discover why he thinks Mike Vrabel is the right fit and why he’s eyeing a 2026 return to the 49ers.
Kendrick Bourne’s path through the NFL has zigzagged all over – some highs, plenty of lows, and now, another fresh start. He took a shot with the Patriots in 2025 after building his reputation with the 49ers. But honestly, that New England chapter ended before it even got going. Bourne didn’t just slip out the back door. He left with a lot to say about what he saw brewing in New England as Mike Vrabel took charge.
Once Vrabel arrived, you didn’t need to listen for rumours about a culture shift; it was obvious. Bourne noticed right away. He’s already got his eyes set on home, back with the 49ers, but even from a distance, he could see the Patriots were heading somewhere new long before their record showed it.
Talking about his exit from New England, Bourne didn’t sugarcoat anything. Losing the job itself wasn’t the hardest part. What stung was watching Vrabel put his stamp on the team, laying down the kind of structure and discipline Bourne knew would eventually pay off. He was blunt; things just felt different under Vrabel compared to before.
He put it like this: “After going through OTAs and camp with Vrabes, you just knew. Nothing against Mayo, but he just wasn’t ready. With Vrabes, the structure was totally different in how we studied, how we met, and just the whole vibe. Honestly, I was sad about it.”
This wasn’t just a guy being bitter. Bourne respected what was happening in New England and genuinely wished he could have been part of it, especially with a Super Bowl push on the horizon. He even admitted he’d wanted to be in that locker room when the Patriots finally made it back to the big stage.
Now he’s back with the 49ers, hoping to stick around. At 30, Bourne wants a new contract in San Francisco. He had a solid 2025, racked up 551 yards, picked up a contract bonus, and gave the offence a spark. The 49ers needed reliable hands, and Bourne delivered. He’s clear: he wants to stay, but only if the deal makes sense for him.
So now, the offseason gets interesting. Bourne knows where he fits best, but he’s still keeping an eye on what’s building in New England. That mix of looking back and chasing what’s next makes this part of his career one to pay attention to.
MRI SCARE: STEVE KERR ADMITS STEPH CURRY’S "NEBULOUS" KNEE MAY REQUIRE SECOND IMAGING
Warriors crisis! Discover why Steph Curry may need another MRI and how Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear shifts GSW to the play-in.
The Warriors have been scrambling since Jimmy Butler went down with that ACL tear. He’s done for the year, and now Stephen Curry has to carry the offence on his own.
Right after the All-Star break, the Warriors are sitting in eighth place out West. That’s already shaky, and now Curry’s dealing with a knee injury too. The team calls it runner's knee; basically, he just needs time to heal. But then Steve Kerr gave an update that didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Turns out, Curry might need another MRI. He tried to push through a full workout, but his knee just wasn’t right. Now, they’re waiting on imaging to figure out how long he’ll actually be out.
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t suited up for Golden State. If Curry misses significant time, everyone else needs to step up in a big way. The Warriors already have one of the most average offences in the league, 15th at the break. No curry, and things get ugly fast. He’s already missed 16 games this season, and the team went 6-10 without him.
Losing Butler already knocked the Warriors out of serious contention. They’re pretty much locked into the play-in. Unless Curry suddenly goes supernova, it’s hard to see them catching the Thunder or making any real noise out West.
So, what’s next? The front office tried to swing big at the deadline, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, though who knows if the Bucks ever really considered it. Giannis stayed put, but you can bet the Warriors will chase him again this summer.
If that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to other stars. They know the championship window is closing with Curry still on the roster. He’s still elite, but time’s ticking.
LeBron James even comes up as a possibility. If he declines his player option and hits free agency, maybe he’d team up with Curry for one last run at a ring.
Most likely, though, Golden State will look at trades instead of free agents to try to reload. Curry’s health isn’t what it used to be, and the Warriors know they have to make the most of whatever prime he’s got left.
